Going for Chinese? Stay away from these

Chinese food is a rare indulgence for me, but there's no denying that when I go for Chinese, indulge I do. Noodles, deep-fried chicken balls, sweet and sour sauce -- I love a good Chinese feast. But it's not the most calorie-conscious cuisine. eDiets recently counted down the five worst Chinese choices:
- Crispy anything. It's just another way of saying 'deep fried.'
- Egg rolls. Again, just another way of saying 'deep fried'
- Spare ribs. The meat is fatty and slathered in sugary, salty sauce. Enough said.
- Sweet and sour anything. Whatever mystery meat they're serving is deep fried and slathered in sugary sauce. Skip.
- Fried rice. White rice alone is not a great choice. White rice fried in fat and served with bits of mystery meat is about 100 times worse.
What do you skip at the Chinese restaurant?
